“We have not made an arrest at this time. However, we're hoping that individual turns himself in,” said Louisville Metro Public Information Officer Dwight Mitchell.

The man police want to find is the son of the woman who lives in the apartment complex.

Police said at about 3:30 a.m. Friday the woman's son got into a fight with her boyfriend and the fight escalated to a shooting.

"As a result of that shooting, the man received non-life-threatening injuries, but was transported to University Hospital," Mitchell said.

Police are working with the family, hoping the woman's son will turn himself in.

Investigators do not believe he is a serious threat to anyone else, but they want him in custody.

"I believe it to be an isolated incident, obviously with this individual, but until we are able to make an arrest on him, we consider him to be a person to get off the street," Mitchell said.

Residents who live in the area said violence is not a common occurrence. Right now they're not too fearful that any kind of violence like this will happen anytime soon.

Police have not released the name of the man they are looking for.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the anonymous tip line at 502-574-LMPD.
